<para
>This module is designed to allow you to easily select different fonts for different parts of the &kde; Desktop.</para>
<para
>The panel consists of different font groups to give you a lot of flexibility in configuring your fonts: </para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>General:</guilabel
> Used everywhere the other font groups do not apply</para
></listitem>
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>Fixed width:</guilabel
> Anywhere a non-proportional font is specified</para
></listitem>
<!-- <listitem
><para
><guilabel
>File Manager</guilabel
> (Font to use in the
&kde; file manager)</para
></listitem
> -->
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>Toolbar:</guilabel
> Font used in &kde; application toolbars</para
></listitem>
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>Menu:</guilabel
> Font used in &kde; application menus</para
></listitem>
<listitem
><para

<listitem
><para

> Font used in the taskbar panel applet</para
></listitem>
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>Desktop:</guilabel
> Font used on the desktop to label icons</para
></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para
>Each font has a corresponding <guibutton
>Choose...</guibutton
> button. By clicking on this button, a dialogue box appears. You can use this dialogue box to choose a new font, font style, size and character set. Then press <guibutton
>OK</guibutton
>.</para>
<para
>An example of the font you have chosen will be displayed in the space between the font group name and the choose button.</para>
<para
>When you are done, simply click <guibutton
>OK</guibutton
>, and all necessary components of &kde; will be restarted so your changes can take affect immediately.</para>
<para
>The <guibutton
>Adjust All Fonts...</guibutton
> button allows you to quickly set properties for all the fonts selected above. A font selection dialogue similar to the standard one will appear, but you will notice checkboxes that allow you to change the <guilabel
>Font</guilabel
>, <guilabel
>Font style</guilabel
> or <guilabel
>Size</guilabel
> independently of each other. You can choose any one, two, or three of these options, and they will be applied to all the font groups.</para>
<para
>For example, if you have selected several different font faces above, and realise they are all a size too big (this often happens when you change screen resolution, for instance), you can apply a new font size to all the fonts, without affecting your customised font faces and styles.</para>
<sect2 id="fonts-aa">
<title
>Anti-alias text</title>
<para
>To use anti-aliasing, simply place a mark in the checkbox labelled <guilabel
>Use anti-aliasing for fonts</guilabel
>. This enables two more options.</para>
<para
>Placing a mark in the checkbox will allow you to specify which range of fonts will <emphasis
>not</emphasis
> be anti-aliased. This range is specified with the two combo boxes on the same line.</para>
<para
>You can also choose the method that &kde; uses to create an anti-alias look to your fonts. If you are not familiar with the individual methods, you should leave this option alone.</para>
<note
><para
>The ability to use anti-aliased fonts and icons requires that you have support in both X and the &Qt; toolkit, that you have suitable fonts installed, and that you are using the built-in font serving capabilities of the X server. If you still are having problems, please contact the appropriate &kde; mailing list, or check the <acronym
>FAQ</acronym
>.</para
